They were supposed to retroactively erase all Earth-One history to allow a clean slate to work with.

Two stories were supposed to make the transition from Earth-One to New Earth easier for the writers: Legion of Super-Heroes (Volume 3) #18 and All-Star Squadron #60.

Unfortunately, long-time DC fans did not forget all the stories they'd been reading for 25+ years and each attempt to 'fix' things just made it worse. Perhaps if they'd come up with a way to wipe the memories of all their current readers clean, this would have worked. The thinking behind CRISIS was that new readers would be confused by the multiple Earths and various incarnations of the heroes, so doing away with them would make things simpler. Publishers do things for only one reason - to sell books.
